Fit Diva of the week~ Aleina McCarver brings down the HOUSE!

In case you havent noticed, I will be featuring "fit divas" of the week. I love supporting people who are trying to achieve their personal goals....whatever they may be!

This week, I am featuring a personal friend of mine, A'leina McCarver. Last night, at the age of 44, she entered and won her very first figure show. A'leina McCarver won 1st in her division (Open Tall), Won overall SNBF Figure Show and received a Pro-Card all in the same night...her first time competing in a Figure show. She got to this point physically by eating 6 meals a day (every 2 to 3 hours). With at least
4 to 6 oz of protein and 2 cups of veggies, doing 1 hour of cardio 6 days a week, and resistance training 6 times a week.

She owns and runs her own business, teaches 8 fitness classes a week on top of preparing for this Figure Competition. All I can say is...pick a goal, understand the obstacles that will come up in reaching for your goal and Never, ever give up until you have made the mark.

Aleina says...

"A Strong focus, Tenacity, diligence, persistence, planning, accountability, support and love from friends and family will help you meet your goals! I am no different from any of you, I just choose to stay focused and let nothing stop me from reaching my goal. The work outs were the easy part, the tough part which was 90% of how and why I reached my phyiscal goals was my meal plan. I love red velvet cake, I just choose to eat it after July 18th. It didn't mean I couldn't have it, I just had to wait to have it AFTER I met my goal. I set another goal to compete in a Figure show Sept 26th, 2009. My Trainer (yes...a trainer needs a trainer too) has allowed me one week of eating what ever I felt like eating....and now I am back on the program. REMEMBER, my utlimate goal is to live a life of health and wellness as an example to you all that you can If you live a life of balance...you too can: "HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO! "

Aleina brought down the house with her pirate dance routine and looked totally fabulous! She worked very hard and with much dedication and determination followed her dreams and achieved one of her goals. Im SUPER proud of her! .
I wish her much success on her life's journey!


Yet another perfect example of a true FIT DIVA!
YOU GO GIRL!
